Just DO IT

So as some of you may know, this what I do each day. Some days can be down right frustrating, as I see and hear things that really disappointment me.

 

 

Then other days, all it takes is one simple thing to brighten my day.

 

This is what happened one day last week that had me smiling.

 

See if it isn't the answer to all of your problems.

 I know it sure can help improve my life Big time.

 

True story...

I am driving down the road with about 10 kindergartner's on board.

All of the sudden I hear a child  sitting right behind me singing...

 

Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, follow the prophet,

He knows the way.

Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, follow the prophet,

 He knows the way.

 

and on, and on and on...until nearly all of the kindergartner's were singing along.

 

YES, that IS the answer. From the mouth of babes!

 

It's just that easy.

Foods Lasting 30 Years or More

Properly packaged, low-moisture foods stored at room temperature or cooler (24°C/75°F or lower) remain nutritious and edible much longer than previously thought, according to findings of recent scientific studies. Estimated shelf life for many products has increased to 30 years or more (see chart below for new estimates of shelf life).
Previous estimates of longevity were based on “best-if-used-by” recommendations and experience. Though not studied, sugar, salt, baking soda (essential for soaking beans), and vitamin C in tablet form also store well long-term. Some basic foods do need more frequent rotation, such as vegetable oil every 1 to 2 years.
While there is a decline in nutritional quality and taste over time, depending on the original quality of food and how it was processed, packaged, and stored, the studies show that even after being stored long-term, the food will help sustain life in an emergency.
For tips on how to best preserve longer-term food storage products, see Longer-Term Food Supply.

Sugar	30+
Pinto beans	30
Rolled oats	30

11.5 kg./ 25 lbs	Wheat, white rice, corn, and other grains	30+ years
2.5 kg. / 5 lbs	Dry beans	30+ years

You may also want to add other items to your longer-term storage such as sugar, nonfat dry milk, salt, baking soda, and cooking oil. To meet nutritional needs, also store foods containing vitamin C and other essential nutrients.
